The Motive by John Lescroart

This is a book I did not finish. I got 100 pages in and it just did not capture my attention for further reading. The first chapter was great as it described a huge arson in a San Francisco Victorian home, a block of Fillmore where Jessica lived for four years. But, the book was downhill from there. The characters were too stereotypic, and there were too many details in the attempt at character development. I was reading it at the beach in a So Cal heat wave, taking swims in the water and catching a few small waves for body surfing. With the air temp in the 90s and the water in the mid 70s, you would have thought that atmosphere was condusive to enjoying about anything. I'm throwing this one away. Where did I get that recommendation? I guess I can't blame EC Don since I could not find it in the blog.
